Press and daily Dakotaian. (Yankton, Dakota Territory [S.D.]) 1880-1889, 1887-07-16

to the south Dakota temperance alliance
convention, which meets here to-day.
EVERYBODY is pleased with the unanimity
and ENTHUSIASM which characterized the
proceedings. 1t was a convention of
oitizsns of Dakota who
are working for the best interests of the
territory without regard for partisan
political feeling. The plan OF campaign
is thoroughly organized for every coun-
ty and division, workers for both parties
being represented. There was NO feel
ing of spite or jealousy towards north
Dakota and it is expected that that Sec
ton will cordially second tho good work
at the Wahneton convention next week.
Senator elect Edgerton was pleased
with the work OF the convention.
Every thing was done harmoniously
and pleasantly" said he, 'sand the con-
vention has done much towards securing
division"
General Beadle said he was more than
pleased with the work done and was
certain that south Dakota will roll up
an overwhelming majority for division
this fall. He thought north Dakota
would tavor the movement although
there would be some opposition, par
ticularly in Brown county.
Judge Clifford said: "Eyerything
done IN the convention was satisfactory"
Gen. Campbell said that the conven-
sion in its personnel went far ahead OF
any similar gathering held in Dakota,
The spirit and the tone of the oonven-
1tion," said he, "was such as to make the
friends OF the division very sanguine.
We will roll up tremendous vote for
division. We will, of course, do nothing
illegal bat We are irreyocably for diyi-
sipv,
